Updating the Newsletter pages - come and see

Dear colleagues,

The Newsletter can be a source for all your pertinent information related to the Suffolk Piano Teachers Foundation.  No more searching through old emails for that competition application or the date and location of the next meeting.  Of course,  to keep this up to date, I need you feedback (like,  "Hey, Ellen, update the list of meetings!" or "Ellen, You spelled my name incorrectly").  Would you please take a moment and go through the pages and let me know if I left anything out?  You can also send happy comments to the blog.  Those are treasured by the blog maker.

Ellen

Student of Esther Marks receives recognition from her School's Board of Education



Congratulations to Rebecca Nelsen, 7th grade student of SPTF Vice President Esther Chung Marks, who was honored for her musical accomplishments on Nov. 19 at the Eastport School District Board of Education Meeting.  At the board’s request, she performed a solo, Debussy’s Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum, after which she received a standing ovation from the audience.  She is pictured here receiving a certificate from the BOE president and superintendent of schools.  It’s wonderful that the pursuit of musical excellence is recognized in our schools!
